...a twenty+ year old policy from the American Association of University Professors who apparently believe in the First Amendment.  Go figure.  Here is "On Freedom of Expression and Campus Speech Codes":

BBC yesterday ran a story on anti-semitism in the U.S.  Part of it featured about eight Klansmen assembled in a expansive Missouri pasture wearing their garb and carrying flags.  They were shouting through a bull horn at a group of about a dozen standing a couple hundred feet away.  One guy in the group of onlookers would yell and pump his fist in the air.    The camera pulled back to a wide shot.  I've seen more people at a radio-controlled model airplane club meet.  brobdingnagian field.  And there was this little knot of garbed klansmen up at one edge. 

I read the Freedom of Expression and Campus Speech Codes piece with a mixture of:  1) admiration for the ideas and expressiveness of the writing.  2) a vision of White Plaza  or  UCLA's central campus with Nazis or Klansmen spewing their same message day after day.  Maybe I'm losing my faith in humanity to remain humane,  but I can't imagine how it could end without violence.

I wonder whatever happened to D. Maguire.  Was he a student?  Palo Alto resident?  Alum?  General cranK?

I would love to read a history of Stanford in the early 70's through the eyes of G. Garvin. Until it's published, these snippets will have to suffice.
